I remember a garage I had years ago, in a block of ten, about one minute's walk away from the house. No electricity, no window, only a shared water tap a few garages away. Had an Austin-Morris 1300 at the time, and it was only just possible to open a door to get in and out. Swapping it for a Rover 3500S only made it worse.
It was a double block of ten, as well. If you backed out of your own garage, it stopped the guy opposite doing the same with his!
Spent about three years there, and built up a selection of 12v tools and fluorescent lighting, all run off a couple of spare car batteries. Also managed to do some major work on the Rover, including a box out job, and replacement with an SD1 5-speed ZF, as well as all-wings-off for comprehensive rustproofing. Fortunately, only one of my garage neighbours went in for that sort of thing, on an MG roadster.
